^^OHN  A.  FRASER  was  born  in  Lon- 
^ffl  don  in  1838.  At  the  age  of  fourteen, 
0^i^  while  busied  during  the  dav  with 
mercantile  duties,  he  attended  night  drawing- 
classes  at  Burlington  House,  fitting  himself 
for  the  career  towards  which  his  marked  ar- 
tistic ulent  impelled  him. 

At  nineteen  he  sailed  for  Canada  with  his 
family  who  came  to  better  their  fortune  in 
the  new  land.  There  in  an  atmosphere  un- 
congenial to  art,  Mr.  Fraser  developed  his 
f)0werful  artistic  personality,  and  during  his 
ong  residence  was  prominent  in  Canadian  art, 
founding  several  art  societies  and  assisting  in 
founding  the  Royal  Canadian  Academy. 

1884  saw  Mr.  Fraser  in  the  United  States. 
He  was  already  a  member  of  the  American 
Water  Color  Society  and  became  a  member 
of  the  Boston  Art  Club.  On  the  completion 
of  the  Canadian  Pacific  IJailway  he  was  chosen 
by  the  direftors.  Sir  ^?nf)CVan  Home  and 
Lord  Mount  Stephen,  to  illustrate  the  beauties 
of  the  Canadian  Rockies,  following  the  route  of 
the  railway,  the  result  of  which  was  an  exhi- 
bition of  stupendous  work,  much  of  which 
was  shown  in  New  York.  Afterwards  on 
taking  these  piftures  to  London  they  were 
highly  commented  on  by  both  brother  artists 
and  art  patrons.  While  there  he  was  grati- 
fied by  seeing  his  "Laurentian  Splendor" 


k 


hung  in  Windsor  Castle— a  gift  to  the  Queen 
from  the  Princess  Louise. 

Following  this  came  a  year  prolific  of  work 
in  Kent— the  "Garden  of  England,"  the 
romantic  scenery  of  the  Highlandsand  rugged 
coast  line  of  Scotland,  which  obtained  gener- 
ous recognition  in  the  National  Academy  of 
London  and  the  Paris  Salon,  and,  a  little  later, 
at  the  Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago  where 
he  was  awarded  a  medal  on  the  strength  of 
his  works,  prominent  among  which  were 
"Angling  in  the  Highlands,"  "An  English 
May  Morning,"  and  "  In  the  Wild  High- 
lands," which  may  be  seen  in  the  present 
exhibition. 

A  year  or  two  of  serious  work  of  the  varied 
scenery  of  the  United  States  saw  the  close  of 
a  brave  and  brilliant  careci-;  ill  health  follow- 
ing prevented  other  than  desultory  work,  and 
Mr.  Eraser  died  of  heart  disease  in  New  York, 
Jan.  1,  1898. 

The  joyous  mastery  of  Mr.  Eraser's  han- 
dling and  his  strong  perception  are  apparent 
in  his  slightest  work — no  hesitation  marks  his 
rapid  notes,  whether  of  hay-field,  mountain, 
or  shore.  For  the  moment  Nature  is  his  own 
— he  loves  her  and  sympathizes  with  her 
every  mood,  whether  of  sunshine,  tears,  or 
suUen  storm  and  lovingly  portrays  them.
